What does MRSA stand for?

  1. Mighty Resistant Staphylococcus Agent

  2. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

  3. Major Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

  4. Methicillin Reactive Staphylococcus Aureus

The correct answer is: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

MRSA stands for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. This is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics and can cause infections in humans. Option A is incorrect because "Mighty" is not a term used in the official acronym. Option C is incorrect because "Major" is not used in the official acronym and is not an accurate descriptor of the bacteria. Option D is incorrect because "Reactive" is not used in the official acronym and does not accurately describe the bacteria.
